@lts033: Kaiser link is useful (at least to me) to reach 50k+ HP to tank some DR's like hilla's DR

and... @bluebomber24: & @EliteKorsair: Guys, this thread is in the Dark Knight Section maybe archers and DA's don't need that link skill, but Most Drks (including myself) have been QQing about the fact that we are the only warrior with no %dmg reduction and that makes us a bit fragile at bosses like pink bean or Czak that cast seduce pretty often (well, the ones without poton pot)

@darkspawn980: even so, any damage increase for free is still free damage

@elitekorsair: i propose you take your own advice and read more carefully what i said. i was quoting your second post, telling you how even on a demon avenger, having 16% hp to damage isn't as big an increase as you'd believe.

nowhere am i talking about zero with you.

[quote=EliteKorsair]it helps with hit damage which some classes are crippled by, ie bowman. I wasn't talking about % attacks[/quote]

What? Bowman arn't crippled by damage these days. The majority of the bowman class has some combination of high avoid, high hp, or damage reduction. For example MMs have 80% damage reduction and WHs have high HP and 40% damage reduction. Mercs also have 40% reduction and thier training attacks has i-frames which results in little damage on maps where she can move around. The only Archer that gets hurt the most if actually hit is Bowmaster, even then, they can heal almost whenever they want, and at max avoid they have a higher total non-damage rate than DBs. A BM can afk for quite a few seconds at Twilight Golems and not die.

Personally, I am not overlly ecstatic about Zero's link skill.

[quote=EliteKorsair]@darkspawn980: Why is it that i clearly state i dont need to dmg reduction for DA. I was saying the dmg reduction is nice for other weaker classes. Geez people, get with it pls[/quote]

Darkspawn didn't say damage reduction. Geez, dude.

@ackarred: that's what the OP means when he says "not gimp it up like BaM"

@EliteKorsair: sorry to be that guy, but the effect from hp to damage is quite small, even on a DA, since it only counts your base HP, and it's a direct addition to damage.

@SombraManx pdr seems too good though! Maybe kaiser's link skill because it's pretty much %hp damage now
@AllThatEnergy if i remember correctly, zero have character card at lv110, 130, 160, 200.
It gives additional exp 4/6/8/10
Link skill i think you need to do some quests or something to get an item to raise it like the cygnus had to for the cygnus blessing. so not sure about the levels

What lvl is his link skills? Also what is his character card?

[quote=EliteKorsair]TBH, it actually is useful. People underestimate it. It's free damage reduction and PDR. If you are being srs about it, awesome I'm glad to see someone other than myself is smart enough to see its use. I think zero will be a fun class, but i haerd their card counts as a mage card not warrior @_@[/quote]

We don't even know if the damage reduction affects %HP attacks.

@razormana: I know you have to do the quest-line

but I couln't careless about Zero overall

@lts033: I think I'm going to remove my Luminous link skill, since PDR is multiplicative, and I think I have enough sources of %PDR ignore...

plus, Zero gives also some %pdr ignore too

i'm not sure what link skill to give up for it. Thinking of possibility of giving up AB's link skill for it since the cool down is so long for such a short duration skill

[quote=SombraManx]screw zero, his op dmg, his gameplay and his card.. But I will actually get mine to lvl 180 just for that link

as a Drk, I've been missing achilles since they removed it to give us impale.. a warrior without dmg reduction is sad [/quote]

You don't need to get to level 180 for level 5 link, in fact if you just power level to 180 and neglect the quests you wont get level 5 link skill.
You get the final tear (each tear = 1 link level) at level 178, which also gives the A rank character card.

I am, though as a Paladin I can't say I'm exactly in dire need of damage reduction xP
But my Mech and other characters can definitely use that!

@SombraManx: Am trying to get the card for a total of 16% hp as damage cause on a DA thats just OP meng <3
